43K Miles & Almost a Driver: $48K 1972 Porsche 911T

This 1972 Porsche 911T is described as a rust-free non-sunroof car fresh from 35 years of indoor storage where it was placed due to a snapped MFI belt. Though wearing what’s described as a nice, 40 year-old respray over original Gold, overall condition looks to be good and the seller says the matching-numbers engine now starts easily and runs very well. It’s still going to need brake work prior to being a driver, but all-in-all the car seems like it could be a great buy. Find it here on Pelican Parts in Vacaville, California for $47,500. Special thanks to BaT reader Mike P. for this submission.

The seller notes a few dents here and there, one of which looks to be fairly prominent–check out the front left fender just aft of the headlight. Paint quality does look to be pretty good however, and selling the gold-center OZ’s and fiberglass whaletail decklid off for some OEM parts would bring relatively easy visual improvements. The incorrect mirror could be changed out easily as well, and putting the chrome sugar scoop headlight rings on the shelf would allow fitment of some nice Euro H4’s.

There are only two exterior shots provided, both from similar 3/4 front angles, albeit taken on opposite sides. There’s not much to say about the remaining photos, do the interior looks pretty much good-to-go from here. Mileage is claimed to be just 43k, though the odometer shows the figure was rounded down. It’s still impressively low if true.

Says the seller: “This one deserves to be brought back to original, it’s too nice of a car not to. Motor starts with a flick of the key and runs excellent with just the gas and belt changed. Will still need to be fully serviced and brakes gone through before driving, but will drive and stop on to a trailer.”
